100. An airplane flies 100 mi south from city A to city B, 200 mi east from city B to city C, and then 300 mi north from city C to city D. (a) What is the straight-line distance from city A to city D? (b) What is the direction of city D relative to city A?

28. Two runners approaching each other on a straight track have constant speeds of 4.50 m / s and 3.50 m / s, respectively, when they are 100 m apart. How long will it take for the runners to meet, and at what position will they meet if they maintain these speeds?

40. A couple is traveling by car 40 km / h down a straight highway. They see an accident in the distance, so the driver applies the brakes, and in 5.0 s the car slows down uniformly to rest.

(a) The direction of the acceleration vector is (1) in the same direction as, (2) opposite to, OR (3) at 90 degrees relative to the velocity vector. Why?

(4) south of west

(b) What is the straight-line distance from your house to the stadium?

Distance = sqrt(500^2 + 500^2) = 707.11 m

88. Express the following calculations to the proper number of significant figures:

(a) 12.634 + 2.1 = 14.734
(b) 13.5 - 2.134 = 11.366
(c) pie (0.25m) squared = 0.1964
(d) square root of 2.37/3.5 = 0.823

94. The radius of a solid sphere is 12 cm. What is the surface area of the sphere in

(a) square centimeters?

Surface area = 4*pi*r^2 = 1809.6 sq.cm

(b) square meters?

Surface area = 0.181 sq.m

(c) If the mass of the sphere is 9.0 kg, what is the sphere's density in kilograms per cubic meter?

V = 4*pi*r^3/3 = 0.007238 m^3
D = m/v = 9/0.007238 = 1243.4 kg/m^3
